Johnswife: I know you are on vacation but I wanted to tell you I got the book, Gro Up and read it. I mentioned it to my H and he took it to read. He is half way through but today he said he has a case of vertigo (not good for a surgeon) and does not think he can read tonight...I am hoping when he is done we can talk about the book. He has not gotten to the part about grown up marriages or the chapter against divorce. I am hoping those two will make a deep impression on him since I am losing hope these days. My two youngest children, the boys, had lunch with him yesterday. They are so angry at him for his poor parenting (I don't always agree) and they do not think he is worthy of me and they are not really supportive of me wanting to work on this. They are afraid he will bolt again...and to be honest, so am I...but that is a risk I am willing to take. I have kept your posting from 12/15 with me and am trying to do what you have suggested...I simply fear that he has his mind made up and will not budge.
Where are you in california? we used to live north of LA in what was once a small area, Santa Clarita valley. I don't miss the LA life at all.
Have a wonderful holiday.You are truly a blessing in my life.
